Choose Minecraft server software | NodeFlux.eu Docs
Select an available Java server engine from the NodeFlux manager software library.
Steps
- Deploy or open a Minecraft Java service in the NodeFlux manager.
- Open the service software selector or library before starting a new server.
- Choose the available engine that fits your project, such as Paper, Purpur, Vanilla, or a supported mod loader.
- Choose a game version that matches your plugins, mods, and players.
- Install the selection, then start the service and read the first startup log for version errors.
Notes
- The software library can change as supported engines and versions are updated.
- Paper and Purpur use plugins; Forge, NeoForge, and Fabric use mods. They are not interchangeable.
Warning
Back up your world before changing server software or game version. A change can require a different set of files and may make an old world incompatible.
